#2 I don’t blame President Obama for all of this

But...but...he was the "Light-bringer"? He can't possibly be the problem....

#3 It looks like the only thing this piece of Stalinware isn't going to increase is the amount of traffic.

'Look, I'll build the damned thing for you, but we are going to build it under a false name so we can continue to receive business in the future.'

#4 Allison Davis of Aquinnah Investment Trust, who has close ties with Obama, plans to build a 26-story, 250-room luxury hotel just down the street from the center.

There's money to be made. Too bad about the locals.

#5 Sort of a Scala Sancta for communists. Fly in to and navigate around the homeless at O'hare, make it to the hotel without being car jacked, and stay in a room for a week with this piece of stalinware being the only scenery. Room service by World Communist Kitchen, which is totally not a cover and courier service.

#7 the real estate taxes going up are because of Mayor Brandon Johnson, not Obama

the rents going up may be to pay the real estate taxes in which case they are also due to the Mayor

the Obama Center is already recruiting for security jobs at the Center - when it opens, it may be the only place on the south side with decent security
